Terrence Williams, a 6-foot-4 guard from West Mecklenburg High, has verbally committed to the 49ers' men's basketball team, according to his coach Donald Kirby.

Williams averaged 25 points and 12 rebounds as a junior last season. Kirby said he chose Charlotte over Tulane, East Carolina, College of Charleston and Northeastern. Kirby also said Clemson showed some late interest in Williams.

Williams is new 49ers coach Alan Major's second freshman recruit for the 2011 season, following big man Mike Thorne of Fayetteville.

The 49ers are also in the running for point guard Elijah Carter of Brewster (N.H.) Academy, who made his official visit last weekend, and small forward E. Victor Nickerson of Norcross, Ga.

"Welcome to Charlotte" could mean welcome to the university. Looking forward to more pointless criticism from you! Speaking of pointless criticism, last time I checked the city of Charlotte had plenty of high school talent. Having some of it stay here wouldn't be the worst that could happen.

This is a nice land. Hope Charlotte continues this recruiting and builds a solid class for 2011. And again welcome to the Charlotte Williams (in case anyone is as dumb as 4:32 when I mean by Charlotte I mean by the university who's athletic conference goes by Charlotte).

I'm waiting for the season to start so we can watch Niner fans implode. They'll start to turn on one another and call each other UNC fans because quite frankly, it's all they talk about. That and how much attention they deserve from the Observer.

After all that talk is done, they'll start talking about their Final Four year and Conf USA days and how they beat NC State in Raleigh.

This kid's a beast. He would've been/should've been a bigger recruit, but was a little overshadowed by the bigger conferences in town. Nevertheless, this is the kind of kid Major can build a program with.

To 4:32, he decided to play for the "Charlotte" 49ers basketball team. Perhaps you didn't know that's the name of the team Williams just verbaled to? Pretty foolish to say "welcome to literacy" when you missed this, don't you think?

That aside, I'm glad Williams made the right decision to play as a Niner.
